Articles Scientifiques

La Fondation Universitaire peut accorder des subsides pour promouvoir la publication d'articles scientifiques dans des revues internationales. Ces subsides sont destinés exclusivement à faciliter la publication d'articles scientifiques qui découlent de recherches conduites dans une unité de recherche belge. 

ATTENTION :  Les demandes de subside pour les frais de publication d'articles scientifiques doivent être soumises par le biais d'un nouveau système " en ligne ". Ce système facilite le travail des demandeurs et du secrétariat de la Fondation Universitaire.

Suivez ce lien au système de soumission, où le règlement, une description de la procédure et les formulaires de soumission " en ligne " sont disponibles.

Merci d'envoyer vos remarques sur le système en ligne, les corrections et les ajustements souhaités à fu.us@universityfoundation.be.

PAREDES, C. (2014) The Confusion of the Battlefield. A New Perspective on the Tapestries of the Battle of Pavia (c. 1525-1531) RIHA Journa0102 (28 December 2014)

This contribution is devoted to the tapestry cycle of the Battle of Pavia conserved at the Museo Capodimonte in Naples. Seven tapestries compose this prestigious tapestry set that commemorates the first military success of Charles V: the battle held in Pavia on 24 February 1525. Up to now the tapestries have been interpreted as independent panels representing different episodes of the battle. In this contribution we will show that the seven panels actually originated in one single design, which we rediscovered by assembling them in a different sequence.

VANDERELST D., SPEYBROECK N. (2013) An adjusted bed net coverage indicator with estimations for 23 African countries.  Malaria Journal 12:457 

Background: Many studies have assessed the level of bed net coverage in populations at risk of malaria infection. These revealed large variations in bed net use across countries, regions and social strata. Such studies are often aimed at identifying populations with low access to bed nets that should be prioritized in future interventions. However, often spatial differences in malaria endemicity are not taken into account.

VAN GOETHEM D, DE SMEDT S, VALCKE R, POTTERS G, SAMSON R (2013) Seasonal, Diurnal and Vertical Variation of Chlorophyll Fluorescence on Phyllostachys humilis in IrelandPLoS ONE 8(8): e72145.  Correction: PLoS ONE 8(11): 10.1371.

 

In recent years, temperate bamboo species have been introduced in Europe not only as an ornamental plant, but also as a new biomass crop. To measure adaptation stress of bamboo to the climate of Western Europe, chlorophyll fluorescence was measured on a diurnal and seasonal basis in Ballyboughal, Co. Dublin, Ireland. Measurements were attained on the leaves of each node of Phyllostachys humilis. The most frequently used parameter in chlorophyll fluorescence is the photosynthetic efficiency (Fv/Fm).

JUSSERET S., LANGOHR C., SINTUBIN M. (2013). Tracking earthquake archaeological evidence in Late Minoan IIIB (~1300-1200 B.C.) Crete (Greece): A proof of concept. Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 103, 3026-3043.

Late Minoan (LM) IIIB (∼1300–1200 B.C.) represents a crucial period in the history of Bronze Age Crete, heralding the transition to the Iron Age through a wave of site destruction and abandonment. According to the traditional view, earthquakes may have played a significant role in these events. A new archaeoseismological approach is proposed to test this hypothesis and to attribute destruction and abandonment to earthquakes. Potential earthquake archaeological effects (PEAEs) are defined and documented at LM IIIB sites.

NOIROT, I. C., BRITTAN-POWELL, E. F., & DOOLING, R. J. (2011). Masked auditory thresholds in three species of birds, as measured by the auditory brainstem response (L). Acoustical Society of America, 129, 6, 3445-3448. 

Auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) were recorded in adult budgerigars, canaries, and zebra finches in quiet and in three levels of white noise for tone stimuli between 1 and 4 kHz. Similar to behavioral results, masked ABR thresholds increased linearly with increasing noise levels. When the three species are considered together, ABR-derived CRs were higher than behavioral CRs by 18–23 dB between 2 and 4 kHz and by about 30 dB at 1 kHz.

FELTEN, A., SUAREZ-MARTINEZ, I., KE, X., VAN TENDELOO, G., GHIJSEN, J., PIREAUX, J-J., DRUBE, W., BITTENCOURT, C., & EWELS, C. (2009). The role of oxygen at the interface between titanium and carbon nanotubes. Chemphyschem : A European Journal of Chemical Physics and Physical Chemistryvol 10, issue 11, 1799-1804.

We study the interface between carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and surface-deposited titanium using electron microscopy and photoemission spectroscopy, supported by density functional calculations. Charge transfer from the Ti atoms to the nanotube and carbide formation is observed at the interface which indicates strong interaction. Nevertheless, the presence of oxygen between the Ti and the CNTs significantly weakens the Ti–CNT interaction. Ti atoms at the surface will preferentially bond to oxygenated sites.
